Rodney Hyett Coastal landscape photographer.

Rodney Hyett drifted into photography by way of a job after studying Architecture for a while. In 1982, after assisting overseas, he returned to Melbourne and began work as a freelance photographer specializing in architecture, mostly for magazines.

Born and bred in Geelong and having surfed since the age of 12, he survived only five years in the metropolis before the pull of the ocean got the better of him and in 1987 he moved to Port Campbell on the rugged, south west coast of Victoria. It wasn’t only seduction by remote and uncrowded surf, there was also a girl involved. The break from the city was not entirely clean and he continued working for the magazines, spending two days a week in Melbourne and the rest building a house, establishing a family and surfing.

In 1995 he published his first book on the Great Ocean Road, a traveller’s guide that sold well and started the transition to self-publishing of his landscape photography. A black and white calendar on the Great Ocean Road was added to the publications in 1998 and has since been his main photographic project each year.

His passion is to capture the ocean in all its moods and endulge in an activity entirely compatible with his pursuit of waves up and down the coast!
